Many organizations such as government departments, universities, schools, banking and insurance
companies are always seeking an accurate cost accounting, high security, accessibility and
affordable solution.
solution SafeQ is the ideal solution for them,
them suitable for small to mid‐sized
mid sized offices,
offices as
well as large and distributed enterprise environments.
What is SafeQ?
SafeQ is a web‐based accounting system which offers accounting and access control on multi‐functional peripherals
(MFPs), designed to reduce total costs of ownership of MFPs, enrich security of print workflow and increase
productivity of all local and network output devices, including bizhub and third party devices.
Accurate Accounting
SafeQ enables the accounting of the exact number of actually printed, copied,
scanned pages. It supports print accounting on network MFPs and printers, print
volume monitoring on local printers and the accounting of MFPs. With every
output, it records the type (e.g. b/w or color), duplex print, paper size (A4 / A3).
The output is accounted to users, departments, devices and / or projects.
Online / Offline Accounting
SafeQ supports both online and offline accounting. When using online accounting,
the server communicates with MFPs during print and determines the exact number
of pages that have been actually outputted. With jobs cancelled by the user or jobs
cannot been printed completely (e.g. due to paper jam), SafeQ accounts only the
pages that actually printed. This is something that no other product on the market
is able to do.
When using offline accounting, a job is accounted immediately upon its delivery to
the MFPs depending on the number of pages this job contains.
